Baleària schedules its largest offer between Spain and North Africa with 34 daily connections

The Dianense shipping company, Baleària, has unveiled its largest maritime connection offer for the Operation Crossing the Strait. This is a historic schedule with 34 direct connections between North Africa and Spain from June 15 to September 15.

Baleària aims to serve the high demand concentrated during this period and will operate on the following routes: Tarifa-Tangier Ville, Algeciras-Tangier Med, Almería-Nador, Motril-Tangier Med, Málaga-Melilla, Algeciras-Ceuta, Valencia-Mostaganem, in addition to connections between Barcelona and Algiers and Oran.

One of the main novelties is the inclusion of the Tarifa-Tangier Ville route, where it will operate for the first time with up to 12 daily connections using two high-speed ships. This is complemented by new routes from Barcelona to Algiers and Oran or the expansion to three connections of the Valencia-Mostaganem corridor.

Baleària's general director, Georges Bassoul, highlighted "the largest historical offer for the operation of crossing the strait" and stated that "North Africa is our main international market, and we want to provide a quality, competitive service that meets the expectations of the thousands of customers who trust Baleària."

During the week, the shipping company will have 10 ships, including ferries and 'fast ferries'. These will offer various services, such as halal food catering and prayer rooms during the journey.
